The idea of holding networking sessions was suggested by public councilors of the Central Administrative District of Moscow.

Thus, the decision was made to hold networking sessions and make them an annual event.

Public councilors are passionate and active Muscovites.

The Krasnaya Pakhra, Mitino, and Saltykovka electric bus depots serve 47 eco-friendly routes, which currently carry over 190,000 trips per weekday. This represents a 20 percent increase from the beginning of the year, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.

"Moscow is a leader among European cities in terms of the number of electric vehicles and their use. Today, more than 2,570 Russian-made electric buses serve 240 city routes. Since 2022, three innovative electric bus shelters have been built in the capital, equipped with everything necessary for driver comfort and vehicle maintenance. We will continue to develop our eco-friendly transport network, as Sergei Sobyanin instructed," noted Maxim Liksutov.

This year, electric bus depots received 65 environmentally friendly new-generation A5 KamAZ-52222 vehicles and began serving eight more routes in 20 districts of the capital. The depots feature restrooms, a cafeteria, showers, and changing rooms for employees, as well as maintenance facilities and gantry car washes with a recirculating water system.

New generation of electric buses

Replacing one bus with an electric bus reduces carbon dioxide emissions by more than 60 tons per year. This type of transport is suitable for everyone: it features a folding ramp and call buttons for passengers with limited mobility, as well as a storage area for strollers, bicycles, and large luggage. Inside, there are charging ports for gadgets and media screens with useful route information. A smooth ride and the absence of noise and vibration also contribute to a comfortable ride.

You can pay for your fare using any convenient payment method using digital validators. Electric buses deploy an air curtain when the doors open, helping maintain a comfortable temperature inside. For passenger safety, the vehicles are equipped with video cameras both inside and outside.

Moscow was the first city in Russia to begin building modern electric bus depots. In 2022, Russia's first and Europe's largest electric bus depot, "Krasnaya Pakhra," opened in the New Moscow administrative district. These eco-friendly vehicles began operating in the Novomoskovsky and Troitsky administrative districts. A year later, the "Mitino" depot was built in the northwest. With its arrival, electric buses began operating in 20 districts of the capital and two nearby cities in the Moscow region. A third innovative electric bus depot, "Saltykovka," opened in late 2023. It serves routes in the east of the city. Electric buses are also used at nine modernized Mosgortrans sites.

More electric bus routes

In 2025, the new-generation KAMAZ-52222 electric buses entered service. These eco-friendly vehicles are even more comfortable—they feature an improved interior layout, a 15 percent larger storage area, redesigned doors, and light strips with opening and closing indicators. The climate control system has become even more efficient, and there are also storage compartments for carry-on luggage. The exterior of the electric buses has been updated to reflect current trends in global industrial design.

With new equipment deliveries and the development of charging infrastructure, even more electric bus routes will appear in the city. In 2025, Moscow signed contracts with PAO KAMAZ for the delivery of 1,100 new-generation electric buses between 2025 and 2027. These buses are being developed based on operating experience from earlier models and passenger feedback. Moscow's order for new equipment supports employment in the regions and stimulates the development of domestic industry.
